Stella MS Hot Tub by Nordic Hot Tubs

The Stella MS is a compact three-person hot tub built for easy conversation, focused hydrotherapy, and everyday backyard comfort. Its layout pairs a No-Float™ lounger with two opposing, deep-seated captain’s chairs, creating a social spa that still gives each bather a dedicated place to relax. For households across Traverse City and nearby communities such as Charlevoix, East Jordan, and Reed City, it offers a practical size, flexible power, and a design that makes it easy to enjoy warm-water recovery at home.

Phillips Lifestyles supports the Stella MS with installation and maintenance services, free in-home consultations, spa maintenance, repairs, and showroom test soaks for hot tubs. That combination is especially helpful when you want a spa that fits both your space and your routine. A friendly local touch: a day around Young State Park can pair naturally with an unhurried evening soak afterward.

Features and hydrotherapy design

The Stella MS belongs to Nordic Hot Tubs’ Modern Series and centers the soak around 21 jets. The jet mix includes 5 Nordic Star Directional Whirlpool jets, 15 Nordic Star Dual Rotational jets, and 1 ozone jet position with an optional ozonator. That blend is designed to combine broad circulation with more targeted massage action, helping the spa feel active, responsive, and comfortable across its seating positions.

The Dual Therapy System (DTS™) reinforces that approach by pairing high-volume whirlpool flow with direct-pressure jets. In practical terms, that gives the Stella MS a versatile feel: one seat can feel more invigorating, while another can deliver a more focused pressure point experience. The No-Float™ lounger provides a reclined place to stretch out, while the two captain’s chairs keep the social side of soaking front and center.

Lighting options add another layer of appeal for evening use. The standard side-wall LED light gives the spa a clear, simple glow, and the optional Northern Lights Package™ expands the atmosphere with a backlit Nordic Cascade™ waterfall, LED sconce lighting, LED-lit Nordic Star™ rotational jet(s), LED-lit cup holders, and LED sidewall lighting. For buyers who enjoy a calm nighttime soak, those details help the spa feel more complete without changing its compact footprint.

Water care support is built into the available configuration too. Nordic Clean™ or Nordic Pure™ ozone options are designed to help sanitize spa water by destroying bacteria, viruses, and biodegradable materials. For shoppers who want a clean, low-fuss ownership experience, that’s a meaningful feature to consider alongside seating and jet performance.

Size, power, and finish options

At 84" x 62" x 34", the Stella MS is sized to fit where a larger spa might feel cumbersome. Its dry weight is 416 lbs, and operating capacity is 240 gallons. That balance makes it appealing to buyers who want a real hydrotherapy tub without overcommitting patio or deck space.

Power flexibility is another practical strength. The Stella MS is 110V/220V convertible, which can simplify planning for different installation scenarios. On 110V, the heater is rated at 1 kW; on 220V, it is rated at 4 kW. It also includes a 2hp continuous-duty pump and a 4-button topside control pad with LED display, giving owners a straightforward way to manage everyday use.

Thermal performance matters in a climate where spa season can stretch across much of the year. Foam insulation is standard, and Nordic Wrap™ is available as an upgrade for added protection. The wrap adds extra R-value to the already insulated cabinet, offering more help against heat loss. Buyers can also choose from Eclipse, Drift, Coastal, and Shadow shell colors, along with Charcoal, Mahogany, Black, and Natural Cedar cabinet colors, making it easier to match the spa to the setting.

Those practical choices are part of what makes the Stella MS a strong fit for homes that value both performance and efficient use of space. It is compact, but it still feels like a complete hot tub experience.
